Meet Carol and Greg Guy

Together, we’ve transformed thousands of dogs and families across Edmonton and Alberta for over two decades. As the original Bark Busters Edmonton founders in the region, Carol is Canada’s premier Grand Master Trainer and one of Canada’s Top Dog Trainers, having trained more dogs and families than any other Bark Busters trainer in the country. As certified professional dog trainers, we bring unparalleled experience to every home we visit. Growing up in the Edmonton area with a deep love for dogs and hands-on experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and flyball, we understand both the joy and challenges of canine companionship.

After discovering that effective communication was the missing piece in our own dogs’ training, we became determined to help others build better relationships with their dogs through simple, fun, and effective training techniques. As certified Behaviour Therapists and Trainers, we specialize in private dog training in Edmonton tailored to every dog and family. From obedience training for dogs to aggressive dog training in Edmonton, we meet every dog at their level and help families move from frustration and stress to calm and relaxed. Our behaviour training for dogs approach is proven to create lasting change, whether you’re dealing with a reactive dog or navigating more complex challenges.

We work with all types of dogs and behaviour profiles, including reactive dog training, dog training for behaviour problems, and aggressive dog behaviour. As experienced dog behaviourists in Edmonton, we understand that proper training can prevent abandonment and unnecessary euthanasia, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Our mission is simple: help dog owners understand their canine companions so they can enjoy relaxed, happy dogs and stronger family bonds. It’s a privilege and joy to help people communicate clearly with their dogs in a language they understand. Helping people and their dogs understand each other better, love each other more, and stay together is truly what we love to do.

We Understand How Frustrating
Dog Behaviour Problems Can Be

You love your dog. But their behaviour is draining you:

    • Your home feels chaotic.
    • Friends don’t visit.
    • Walks are stressful.
    • You’ve tried training, tools, and techniques, but nothing sticks.
    • The barking exhausts you.
    • The aggression worries you.
    • The separation anxiety breaks your heart.

It’s an exhausting cycle. But it doesn’t have to be like this forever.

Why Our Approach Works Where Others Fail:

  • In-home dog training addresses real-world behaviours
  • No punishment-based methods
  • Tools and techniques designed to work long-term, not just mask the problem
  • We train you, not just your dog
  • Results often visible in the first 2-3 hour session
  • The Life Of Dog Support Guarantee means you’re never alone

Edmonton Dog Owners Just Like You Are Finally Enjoying Well-Behaved Dogs

“Carol was a great trainer – I wish I had tried out Bark Busters sooner! We had been through many positive-reinforcement style group classes at several different trainers, and even had several rounds of private training…none of it helped with the deeper issues we needed to be addressed (pulling, lunging, barking incessantly, and generally being an ultra-guard dog). We have a whole new dog since our training.”

— Danielle & Mike S., Edmonton

“The training and information from Bark Busters is truly amazing. Within the first visit of three hours, our 6-month-old Yorkie was complying and learning her new role of following my husband and I as her leaders and not her. Wonderful that whenever we need more help, this service is available for the life of our dog. We would both highly recommend Bark Busters with Gregg and Carol.”

— Elizabeth Moland, Edmonton

FAQs

How much does training cost?

We offer a one-time fee that includes your initial assessment, training sessions, and our Life Of Dog Support Guarantee. Pricing depends on your specific needs. Call 780-457-2559 for a free quote, or book a consultation to discuss your situation.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients see noticeable improvement during the first session. As Elizabeth shared, within the first visit of three hours, her 6-month-old puppy started learning how to behave properly. Long-term habits take consistency, don’t forget! We schedule follow-up appointments to suit your dog’s needs and help you! Your Life Of Dog Support Guarantee means you always have the support you need.

Do you train all breeds and ages?

Yes! We’ve successfully trained puppies to senior dogs and all breeds. No dog is too old or too stubborn to learn.

What if my dog is aggressive? Is training safe?

Aggression is one of our specialties. Each Bark Busters trainer is trained on our unique “Stand Rite No Bite” system, and must pass a test to make sure they know how to safely approach aggressive situations. We use safe, effective communication techniques, and coach the humans on how to address the root cause of aggression to create lasting change.

Why in-home training instead of group classes?

Dogs behave differently at home, where they’re most comfortable and where problems actually occur. In-home training addresses the exact behaviours causing you stress, in the exact setting where they happen.

What does the Life Of Dog Support Guarantee really mean?

You can call us anytime – weeks, months, or years later – for advice or follow-up sessions. There’s no time limit. We’re here for the life of your dog.

Do I need special equipment like bark collars?

We do not use any form of shock collar. Your trainer will assess and advise you on what your specific dog will need. You do not need to buy anything in advance.

How long are training sessions?

The initial session is typically 2-3 hours. This gives us time to assess your dog, teach you effective techniques, and start seeing results immediately. The follow-up sessions are typically an hour.
